Job title Lab Technician – Summer Placement. Company Scottish Sea Farms. Description of the job Scottish Sea Farms has a summer placement opportunity for a Laboratory Technician to support fish health and quality monitoring work. Working closely with the lab team, the successful candidate will help deliver daily water sampling and analysis across Shetland sites, focusing on the identification and enumeration of harmful plankton and jellyfish species. The role also supports staff training and provides technical input on fish health and welfare. This is a hands-on opportunity for someone with a strong interest in marine biology or aquaculture. The candidate will gain practical lab experience, contribute to real-world fish health services, and support ongoing improvements in water quality monitoring. Scottish Sea Farms operates 46 marine farms, 3 freshwater hatcheries and 2 processing facilities. As a recognised employer across the West Coast, Highlands and...

At iMARES (ICM‑CSIC), we offer a research internship for bachelor’s or master’s students interested in marine spatial planning, biodiversity conservation, and geospatial ecological analysis. The project will develop a standardized workflow to identify Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas (EBSAs) in two major climate‑change hotspots: the Western Mediterranean Sea and the Eastern & Central Tropical Pacific. Using ecological and oceanographic datasets, the study will generate spatial products that highlight areas of high ecological value, regions of vulnerability or productivity, and priority zones for conservation planning. The student will analyse geospatial data, apply EBSA criteria, and explore multiple spatial prioritization scenarios to produce comparable outputs across ocean basins. The internship provides hands‑on training in R programming, ecological data analysis and geospatial modelling, while working closely with researchers in an...

At iMARES (ICM‑CSIC), we offer a research internship for bachelor’s or master’s students interested in trophic ecology, conservation science and ecological data analysis. The project examines whether no‑take Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) lead to measurable changes in the diet, trophic role and predator–prey interactions of selected fish species. The study will compile and clean dietary and community datasets (stomach contents, stable isotopes, eDNA and visual surveys), and quantify differences in diet composition, niche breadth, trophic overlap and, when possible, trophic position inside versus outside MPAs. The student will follow a structured workflow that includes designing the comparative framework, computing trophic metrics, running statistical analyses, and generating reproducible outputs for management evaluation. The internship provides training in R‑based ecological analysis, trophic metrics, reproducible workflows, database management, and complementary field...

At iMARES (ICM‑CSIC), we offer a research internship for bachelor’s or master’s students interested in trophic ecology, stable isotope analysis and marine fish life‑history reconstruction. The project uses δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N from sequential layers of fish eye lenses to trace lifetime changes in diet and habitat use in pelagic species of the Western Mediterranean. The study will analyse ontogenetic dietary shifts, quantify individual specialisation using isotopic variance components, and identify when and how individuals transition among prey fields and habitats. With an extensive dataset already available, the student will work with eye‑lens isotope chronologies to infer trophic trajectories and support assessments of population flexibility and vulnerability under environmental change. The internship provides training in stable isotope data processing, R‑based ecological analysis, quantitative modelling, and sample preparation (lens extraction and material processing),...

Job title PhD Candidate in Parasite and Plankton Behavioural Biology and Ecology. Company Department of Biology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Description of the job The Department of Biology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim offers a PhD position at the Marine Sciences section, within the research group "Fish parasites, health and welfare". The PhD project will focus on behaviour and ecophysiology of sea lice and selected zooplankton species. There is a large focus on the parasitic salmon louse, as it causes large problems for the Norwegian aquaculture industry. The group collaborates closely with the aquaculture industry through the "Research platform Taskforce salmon lice" and works with a variety of research projects. In addition to salmon lice, the group focuses on fish health and welfare, as well as zooplankton biology and ecology. The project will include methodological developments as well...

Job title PhD Opportunity: Advancing Plankton Imaging & Machine Learning to Transform Marine Biodiversity Monitoring. Company Marine Research Plymouth (University of Plymouth, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Marine Biological Association). Description of the job Marine Research Plymouth is offering a 3.5 year PhD studentship to advance plankton imaging and machine learning to transform marine biodiversity monitoring. The studentship is due to start on 1 October 2026. Plankton play essential roles in marine food webs and global carbon cycles, acting as sensitive indicators of environmental change and enabling predictions of climate impacts on ocean biodiversity. However, current plankton monitoring is insufficient, limiting the ability to detect biodiversity shifts, model ocean responses to climate stressors, and inform effective conservation policies. Although advances in imaging technologies have enhanced the spatio-temporal resolution of plankton sampling, these...
